Hey everyone, I've been out of town and boy has a lot happened. Tracey, that is the best news I've heard in a while, congrats to you. Lisa, the wait seems like forever but I am praying for a BFP for you and your family. To all, good luck and baby dust to you.
I have my retrieval in the morning at 8:30!!!!! I am so excited.
Question,does anyone's clinic tell you to take baby aspirin after the transfer? Does it help with implantation?
Again, good luck to all. I think most of us are around the same time frame so I will make sure to check in everyday.

BFP - August 17th

Lala--I was on the lupron injections they were not that bad at all the only problem I had with them was headaches every now and then nothing i could not deal with... no pain at the injection site only some bruising. Good luck to you and welcome aboard. If you have any lupron questions ask away......

Angie-- You will be MISSED :(

Question????Did any one else have cramping after transfer i have what feels like light menstrul cramps... Nothing severe.. Could it be the PIO injection? i HAVE NO CLUE ON THIS ONE.......

Thank you for all the warm welcomes here. DH and I had a fun time last night doing our lupron while camping! I held the flashlight and all went well, one great thing about all of this is it has brought him and I closer. I think the tummy is definitely better than my thigh that we did back in March.

I'm not looking forward to going in to tell my principal that I will be out some days the first week of school. My girlfriend said he is very relaxed right now so I guess it's a good time to speak with him. Some teachers told me before not to tell him anything but he was nice about it in March so hopefully it will be the same this time.

Is anyone here doing accupuncture? The naturopathic doc gave me red raspberry leaf tea yesterday, are any of you all trying that?


CroElla :) :) :) :) Congratulations on your BFP that's so
wonderful!


LisaPa I read lots back in March after ET cramping can be
perfectly normal so try not to worry yourself.

lala My experience with the injections back in March was
that sometimes they hurt and sometimes not. We switched to
my tummy this time and that seems a lot better. This is my
firsttime taking lupron for a few weeks and I'm not crazy
about it because of the numerous side effects but the doc
said that ismostly when you take huge doses of it. Also
some people like to ice the injection site first. Good luck.[/b]

Hello.

Croella: CONGRATULATIONS.I'm very happy for you!

Today i had to come to the office because the printer was not printing and i had to sort it out.

My updates:
Got 6 eggs on friday and none of them were ferilized :( :cry: !!!
The emryologist said that this time round the sperm quality was better so we had the option to go for IVF or ISCI. We choose IVF and bad luck.

Monday will ring them and make another appointment and discuss this.

Sorry,not feeling to good to write more.
Just thought to popin and give my updates.

wishing everybody a nice weekend
